DPF Cleaning – Park Gate

At Station Garage, we provide Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) diagnostics, repairs, and software solutions for cars, vans, and commercial vehicles throughout Park Gate and the surrounding areas.

A blocked or faulty DPF can lead to poor performance, increased fuel consumption, warning lights, and even limp-mode activation, but our team can help you get back on the road quickly and safely.

What Does a DPF Do?

Your DPF is designed to capture and store harmful soot particles from the exhaust system, reducing emissions and keeping your vehicle compliant with environmental standards, and a properly functioning DPF is essential for your diesel vehicle to pass its MOT test.

Over time, however, soot and ash can accumulate and cause blockages, especially in vehicles driven mainly on short journeys where regeneration doesn’t complete properly.

What is a DPF Cleaning service?

If your diesel particulate filter (DPF) is heavily blocked, an off-vehicle clean is often the most effective way to restore it. At our workshop in Park Gate, we use the Oxyhtech DPF cleaning system to remove soot, ash, and other deposits that standard regeneration cannot eliminate.

During this process, the DPF is carefully removed from the vehicle and connected to our specialist cleaning equipment. We test the flow at the start of the process, thoroughly clean the DPF, and test again to make sure it’s completely cleaned and is working properly.

Why should I get my DPF cleaned? Would a new one be easier?

Replacing your DPF can be expensive, so off-vehicle DPF cleaning is an excellent alternative to replacing an expensive filter. It can restore performance, improve fuel economy, and help eliminate DPF-related warning lights and regeneration issues.

Before carrying out any cleaning, we diagnose the cause of the blockage. Not all garages do, and that means that you can soon have the blockage reoccur. Problems such as faulty sensors, injector issues, turbocharger faults, or excessive soot production should be repaired first to prevent the DPF from blocking again.
